@sebasschweinsteiger some people apologize to please someone. Don’t pretend to be someone else to please others. Be true to yourself.
If you are speaking your native language and someone says “speak English, you’re in America now,” you might be tempted to apologize. But don’t apologize for who you are.
I’m sure there are better examples, but hope this helps.
